I'd advise everyone to get a decent VPN, THE UK is getting worse and worse with net censorship. They've been blocking torrent sites (even legit ones) for a couple of years now.

You can usually pick up a 12 month VPN sub for about $30 USD (£25 ish) and then you won't be blocked from any site or need any orwellian "pass" . Plus they can't track your activity. It's pretty much an essential for unrestricted net access these days IMO.
